Socialist Youth Front
Socialistisk UngdomsFront (SUF) (Socialist Youth Front), is Denmark's largest revolutionary socialist youth organization, consisting of approx. 1000 members and 35 local committees across Denmark.
SUF was established in 2001 on the initiative of Rebel and the youth network of the Red-Green Alliance / Enhedslisten. Other organizations like the somewhat similar Rød Ungdom (Red Youth) were also invited to join, but chose to remain independent.
SUF often cooperates with the Red-Green Alliance / Enhedslisten but has a primarily extraparliamentary focus.
SUF publishes the external magazine Frontalt and the internal newsletter Blomster og Barrikader (Flowers and Barricades).
SUF consists of members of many kinds and from many ideological backgrounds, including traditional communists, left socialists, anarchists, trotskyists a.o. – but most members do not belong to specific ideological groupings.
The politics and training in SUF is, however, based on a non-parliamentarian, revolutionary and marxist world view.
The highest authority in SUF is the national congress, which is held twice a year. Once a year 8 members are elected to the board of leadership, which consists of 21 members. The rest of the leadership members are elected as representatives of local regions and can be called back in the periods between the national congresses.
